"You said she only came here a short time ago, but I've seen her several times. How do you explain that?"
"Captain Luo, you're here too! She came here to buy something."
"Where are you going? If you wrongly accuse us, just apologize!"
The female salesperson was stopped by Tian Xiaolan and was about to open her hand and walk away.
Tian Xiaolan refused to budge, still blocking her path. The saleswoman was taken aback by this sudden action, and before she could react, the man had already opened his voice and yelled, "Everyone, come and see! The people in this store are accusing me of having counterfeit money and won't sell me anything. If you usually buy things here, you should be careful. They'll make mistakes when they calculate the bill, and then they'll overcharge you without you even realizing it."
The female salesperson's face flushed like a ripe apple, and her angry eyes shot straight at Tian Xiaolan like sharp swords. The words from her mouth were like a machine gun, popping out one after another, and every word was her fault.
The stopped female salesperson was not to be outdone. She frowned and immediately retorted, "What right do you have to say that to me? You must be wronging me. You see how good I am here and you are jealous of me. Even if you say that, no one will believe you. We have been doing this for so long. We will not do anything to cheat on weights. We are state-owned. If you don't buy, there will always be someone else who will."
Her voice was just as loud, and her words were becoming more intense.
The two of them were arguing with each other, neither of them giving in, as if they wanted to vent all the dissatisfaction and anger in their hearts at this moment. The air around them seemed to become hot because of their quarrel, and the tense atmosphere filled the air, making people worry for them.
Seeing how fiercely they were arguing, the administrator and Captain Luo began to pull them one by one to try to stop the fight.
Captain Luo waited for her to pull the saleswoman away. He then said to Tian Xiaolan, "Don't get excited. She was wrong. The director who supervised her has already apologized to you, and she's been punished. Just forgive her!"
When Tian Xiaolan heard him speaking for them, she finally understood that their friendship was nothing compared to this matter.
Wang Xiuer also advised: "Xiaolan, forget it. It's so dark now. If we go back later, it will be too late and we won't be able to see anyone."
When Luo Guoqing heard Wang Xiuer's words, he immediately thought of the scene of two little girls walking on the street at night: "Yeah, you guys have to go back to the village later? It's so scary walking in the dark. Do you have any relatives in town? If so, you can go and stay with them for a night."
Tian Xiaolan thought for a moment, then glanced at the sky again. It was gradually getting darker, and she was afraid that it wouldn't be bright for long. Forget it, she didn't want to waste time with her. She almost forgot the purpose of her visit. She had to buy the things first.
Tian Xiaolan also saw his worry and explained, "Okay, I won't argue with her. We'll stay at a friend's house, don't worry."
Luo Guoqing: "That's good. Please pay them for their belongings so they can go back."
The manager had just finished persuading her when she heard his words and ran to the counter to settle the bill for them.
After everything was taken, she handed the change to Tian Xiaolan and said, "She may be harsh in her words, but she's actually a good person. Don't take it too seriously."
"I hope she won't do this again next time." Xiu'er could sense that there was something wrong between them. Next time she came to buy things, she would definitely still be selling goods here, and they wouldn't be able to do anything and would only be looked down upon.
"If she does this again next time, I won't let her go." Tian Xiaolan said and left with her things.
Wang Xiuer was impressed by her handsomeness and followed her with her things.
Tian Xiaolan walked in front, Xiu'er followed behind with things she brought home, and Luo Guoqing walked slowly behind them. It was a harmonious scene.
Not long after we started walking, it gradually got dark. There were no stars in the sky, and we couldn't see the road clearly. It seemed as if the surroundings were shrouded in endless darkness.
Without the embellishment of stars, the sky looks like a huge black curtain, pressing heavily on the head, making people feel extremely depressed.
The road lost its original outline in the darkness and became blurred, as if it hid countless unknown traps.
Tian Xiaolan tentatively moved forward in the darkness, each step filled with uncertainty, not knowing what she would step on next.
The wind blew gently in my ears, making a "woooo" sound, like a ghost whispering in the dark, making people's backs chill.
The trees along the road were dim in the darkness, like silent giants, standing quietly. Their branches swayed slightly in the wind, casting distorted shadows that were somewhat creepy.
The houses in the distance also became blurred, and only some vague outlines could be seen, like phantoms in the darkness. The lights seemed so dim in the darkness, as if they would be swallowed by the darkness at any time.
Wang Xiuer was walking on the road, feeling a little chill in her heart. She was surrounded by darkness and couldn't find her direction. The uneasiness and fear in her heart continued to spread.
Luo Guoqing saw that the person walking in front of him stopped, and thought that he had encountered something, so he took out a flashlight from his waist pocket and shone it over.
That beam of bright light instantly pierced the darkness. The flashlight light extended forward firmly, illuminating the road ahead. The potholes and protruding stones that were originally hidden in the darkness and daunting to people were now exposed under the reflection of the light.
Luo Guoqing walked with steady steps, and the flashlight swayed gently as he walked. The beam of light also swayed back and forth on the ground. Wherever the light reached, there was a bright, visible and safe place.
Luo Guoqing's rough voice came, "Don't be afraid, just go ahead, I'll be right behind you."
Wang Xiuer turned around and saw that it was him. Her tense shoulders immediately relaxed. He knew Tian Xiaolan and should not harm them.
Tian Xiaolan saw that it was him and thanked him with a smile.
Luo Guoqing waved his hand and said to them seriously, "It just happened to be on the way. You don't know, there are still a lot of hooligans in this town. You two girls should be careful."
Tian Xiaolan knew that his claim of being on their way was not true at all. She had previously inquired about his home and found that it was in a very remote area, in two different directions from where they were going. He probably didn't want to put pressure on others. He was a nice person.
"It's time to eat now, so I don't think we'll meet again."
"Don't talk so early. Just because you don't see them now doesn't mean they aren't there. Sometimes those little bastards like to hide in the corner and hit you with clubs." Luo Guoqing had no idea what to do with these young people.
There are schools in town, but they insist on hanging out outside and learning some cheap things, which only causes trouble. They are not very old, so if you arrest them, their parents will make a fuss. They are neighbors, so it is not advisable to make things too bad. If it is not too bad, let the parents take them home and educate them. Those kids will become more unscrupulous with experience, and they will cause trouble for everyone.
